It will be there when you're ready. At that time, I can point you in the direction of a version with commentary, since Bibek's translation is more factual and scholarly, and intentionally one without commentary.\n\nHis aim was to present the text as it is, without adding interpretation on top. As he put it: \"A translator's job is to translate, not to interpret.\"\n\nI've spent a lot of time with the Mahabharata and the Gita over the years—reading, listening, internalizing it, putting it into practice, and sharing it with others.\n\nIt’s less like \"coming up with a response\" and more like letting something you've already internalized flow through you.\n\nTo answer your question, I'll write or speak what I want to say, and nowadays I'll use AI as an editor to organize, tighten, or refine it here and there. I treat anything I'm putting out into the world with a high level of care and intention.\n\nThen I'll go back through it, iterate, double-check, and edit. Any text I reuse directly gets put in quotation marks, with attribution.\n\nThe words are my own, and the understanding comes from within. AI is a powerful tool, but a terrible master."}
